Iraqi medicinal plants: Total flavonoid contents, free-radical scavenging and bacterial beta-glucuronidase inhibition activities

Abstract

Water-soluble

Determination of biological activity of Tragopogon porrifolius and Polygonum cognatum consumed intensively by people in Sivas

“…For the determination of total flavonoid concentration, the aluminum chloride colorimetric method was used according to Molan et al [30]. Catechine was used as a reference standard.…”

Flavonoid Contents of Adiantum capillus-veneris L. Growing in Two Different Districts from Iraqi Kurdistan Northern Iraq

“…However, the role of phenolic compounds, such as flavonoids, in protecting plants from environmental stresses was well documented in litratures (Alonso-Amelot et al, 2001, 2004Chanishvili et al, 2007;Borges et al, 2013;Manan et al, 2015). Despite wide use of medicinal herbs (including ferns) in Iraq and other Arab countries , very few reports are available on active phytochemicals and biological activities of these plants (Al-Rawi and Chakravarty, 2014, Molan & Mahdy 2014). Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine flavonoids content of Adiantum capillus-veneris growing in two different sites from Iraqi Kurdistan / Northern Iraq in order to draw relationship between active content of this fern and site attributes.…”

Hydroalcoholic Extract of Anchusa Italica Protects Global Cerebral Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Via a Nitrergic Mechanism

“…A colorimetric assay was employed to evaluate the total flavonoid content of HEAI. Total flavonoids were expressed in terms of Rutin equivalent (mg/g) (Molan & Mahdy, 2014).…”
